Morocco: Souks, Hammams, and a Journey Beyond Fear (ft. Preethi Chandrasekhar)
<p>We all carry stories about who we think we are. And for some of us, those stories can limit who we’re allowed to become. </p> <p>Preethi Chandrasekhar set out to challenge those limits when she led a group of women on a journey through Morocco. With a do-it-all itinerary designed not just to explore the destination, she encouraged the group to step beyond their routines into an adventure that requires vulnerability, courage, and connection.</p> <p>From navigating the sensory rush of the markets, to shedding insecurities in a traditional hammam, to rising above fear on a hot air balloon ride (and more), Preethi shares the moments that pushed both her and these women beyond the beliefs they’d long held about themselves, to discover the person they’ve been all along. </p> <p> </p> <p>Follow Preethi on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eagertravele/?hl=en">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@eagertravele">TikTok</a> @eagertravele</p> <p>And on her website at <a href="https://theeagertraveler.com/preethi/">https://theeagertraveler.com/preethi/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Fiji: The Art of the Stopover (ft. Chris Singh)
<p>We spend so much time thinking about where we’re going, but rarely about how we return.</p> <p>That’s what writer Chris Singh discovered when he arranged an intentional multi-day stopover in the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji on his way home to Australia from the United States. </p> <p>Surrounded by vivid blues, volcanic islands, and a culture rooted in care and community, Chris shares the key moments that defined his time in Fiji, from communal Lovo feasts and kava ceremonies, to an unexpected yet powerful boost of confidence while out on the water. </p> <p>What could have been a simple layover became something more: a chance to reset, reflect, and fully absorb a transformation that had already begun. </p> <p>Follow Chris Singh on Instagram & TikTok @chrisdsingh</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
